SOMETHING OF SPRING IN THE AIR

Unfortunately it hasn't snowed since weeks and I am missing it very badly now. I yearn for a white landscapes, frost and blizzard-like weather. In order for me to look forward to the forthcoming spring it is a must for me to have previously been able to enjoy a real winter with all the usual clichés...

Speaking of cold temperatures and snowstorms, well at the moment we are experiencing everything but that. A few days ago it was so warm (16° C/ 61 °F) that you could go out with a t-shirt. No need to tell you that our Saturday walk made us sweat!

What is even more crazy is that the birds have changed their way of singing and are now a lot louder than in December. They tweet in a very springy manner. Even nature has this typical bleachy brown, beige and green color that one can experience in March. Is this already the end of winter?

I so love the gold of your photos and the pale dusty green and white of the one landscape with the house in the center. Beautiful and they do feel like the end of winter and the hope of spring. We have beautiful little yellow and blue birds coming to enjoy the grains we've put out on the balcony and they do look so springlike!

Rosa, I know that I am repeating myself but I cannot help it. Yourimages are mesmerizing. I think I understand what you mean about the snow and so on but I am sure that those in other parts of the world that were severly affected would switch place in an instant :)
